Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 988

Patrick quickly understood.

In fact, it was not too hard of a concept to grasp.

He leaned against the back of his revolving chair, looking contemplative. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

As the boss's personal assistant, upon noticing the expression on his face, Patrick's

secretary immediately asked him worriedly, "Mr. Hopper, what are you thinking about?"

Patrick glanced at her and asked, "Do you know who are the main stakeholders behind Northville's Uber service?"

"Well..." The secretary thought for a moment and replied, "I recall that there are two. If I research deeper, I'll be able to find them out for you."

Patrick said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

The secretary could not suppress her curiosity and asked, "Then what should I do afterwards, Mr. Hopper? Why do you want me to check up on this?"

Patrick seemed to think of something interesting. He curled his lips and answered her, "After that, I want you to submit my information and job application form to these driving centres.

Remember, before this afternoon, I want to get the

answer of being employed as a cab driver!"

The secretary felt that her hearing must have been broken. After a while, she came to her senses and ridiculed, "Mr Hopper, are you sure? You're our president. Why are you suddenly thinking of working as a cab driver?

Do you have something that is troubling you? Please don't keep it to yourself. Tell us and we'll solve it together!"

Patrick twitched the corner of his mouth and retorted, "Miss secretary, you can keep your over- excessive sympathy to yourself. It's not that something was troubling me, but that I just want to do something for her..."

Trailing at the end of Patrick's words was a hint of tenderness in his stony voice. The secretary instinctively knew that he was referring to Amelia.

At Apex Construction Corporation.

After Audrey left, Amelia and Jonathan were the only ones left in Amelia's office.

Amelia gestured for Jonathan to sit down and sounded, "Uncle Tucker, did someone from the Environmental Protection Bureau call you again today?"

Jonathan nodded. "Yes, regarding the matter of C

River. They had been trying to find a time to have dinner with you to further discuss about this issue. Of course, they were more inclined to come to the company to ask for forgiveness. But I managed to postpone their invitation."

Amelia smiled slightly and replied, "Uncle Tucker, why do I feel so relieved after hearing what you said? This is not the first time they have ever contacted me through you. You said that they are all leaders, and I managed to shake them up. I'm not sure whether this is a good or bad thing?"

Jonathan was still angry. "They are the ones who don't know what's good forthem! These mobs thought that if Kingston had their backs financially, they could join hands to cause trouble for us. But what they didn't know was that you and Mr. Hopper didn't have that bad of a marriage as the rumors mentioned. They have now reached a dead end, humph!"

Amelia muttered softly, "Uncle Tucker, since they are just a motley crew, you don't have to be angry with them anymore. It's not worth it."

"You're right." Jonathan replied and looked at Amelia with a smile. "In fact, if it weren't for this matter, how could the others know that Mr. Hopper cares about you so much? Am I right, President Ramsay?"

Looking into Jonathan's eyes, Amelia cried out in both embarrassment and annoyance, "Uncle Tucker!"

Jonathan was still sighing. "You don't have to even mention, Mr. Hopper's move was like a slap to Kingston's face. Kingston must still be very confused right now."

Amelia sighed and added on, "Most probably due to the expose of Patrick's affair in the governmental hall, which further led Kingston to think that Patrick had another lover in his heart, and naturally wouldn't stand up for me."

Seeing the faint sadness in Amelia's eyes, Jonathan was afraid that he had triggered some of her sad memories, so he hurriedly consoled her, "It's just a few photos. We're still not sure whether did someone deliberately edit the photos in order to cost us the Eastern District Project. Why was that man so sure that Apex Construction Corporation is isolated and vulnerable?"

At the end of the day, this guy was not only arrogant, but also extremely stupid. From this afternoon onwards, he will organize a week's worth of apologizing meetings. This is already the best proof of his stupidity!"

Amelia shook her head in amusement.

She finally understood that Jonathan and Kingston had old grievances against each other. Instead of persuading Jonathan to calm down, it was better to let him get rid of this resentment.

"No! I'll have to make a phone call later to teach that man a lesson and give him a piece of my mind!"

Noticing that he was talking to himself in the office, Jonathan blushed and hurriedly apologized, "President Ramsay, I'm so sorry for losing my composure!"

Amelia smiled, "Uncle Tucker, it doesn't matter. You don't have to treat me as a stranger, but..."

Jonathan composed himself. "But what?"

Amelia said, "I have a question that I don't quite understand."

Jonathan answered, "President Ramsay, do ask."

Amelia frowned and questioned, "Why are people from the Environmental Protection Bureau willing to associate themselves with Kingston? Just because he is rich?"

Jonathan explained, "Kingston is not only rich, but he's also the construction partner who was most likely expected to take over the Eastern District Project!

President Ramsay, if the people of the environmental bureau can help Kingston seize the Eastern District project from us, then these people are the officials in favor with Kingston's company!

Who knows how much profit they will make from the Eastern District project!"

It was a wake-up call for her!

Amelia could not help but say to Jonathan, "Not bad..."

"It's not just 'not bad', it's 'fortunately'!" Jonathan corrected her, "Fortunately, Mr Hopper helped Apex Construction Corporation at such a critical moment. Otherwise, we would have been stuck in this trap for a long time!"

Before getting off from work, Amelia booked an Uber. She wanted to head to Kaiden's house to get her car back before returning to the Land of Fragrance.

It seemed that it was about time her ride reached. Amelia picked up her leather bag and took the elevator down to the ground floor. She caught sight of an unexpected figure sitting on the lounging sofa in the lobby.

At this moment, two girls walked in from the entrance of the lobby. It seemed that they were in a hurry and it was estimated that they had just finished carrying out their business and came back to the office building.

Men and women were like the exact opposites of a magnet.

They blatantly saw that Amelia was standing not far from them, but both girls first noticed the man who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. "Wow, did you see that man over there who's reading a magazine? He's so good looking! Did you notice his nose? It looks so sharp!"

"No matter how handsome he is, he can't be admired by a girl like you. Could you open your eyes and realize who he's married to?"

"Huh? Once you said that, I think I recognize him! He's...oh my! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

The two girls who were too focused on talking to each other became so careless that they bumped into someone.

They looked up and found that the person they ran into was Amelia. They were stunned.

Fortunately, they apologized politely. They were still Apex's employees after all. After Amelia steadied herself, she asked them, "Are you girls okay?"

They quickly shook their heads. "We're fine! What's more important is that are you okay, President Ramsay?"

Amelia answered faintly, "I'm fine. Well, hurry up and get back to work."
